  1. When I have knowingly bought fake Chinese stuff from Lazada, mainly clothing, they use original photos from the genuine items, cut and paste descriptions from genuine websites. The stuff is fine but obviously fake and lower spec So I would think it is highly likely that you won't get as advertised.
  2. You didn't read this thread did you?
  3. Of course it's fake. But it's so cheap why not just buy it?
  4. Fees are one thing but the most important is how many THB you get. This is normally where Wise wins even with an apparently higher fee as their conversion rate is normally significantly better than other providers.
  5. It depends how you fund the transfer - just go to their website, you can input the information and it will tell all.
  6. They won't transfer it. Just take both passports when you leave the country. Or do you intend to extend your stay?
  7. Kasikorn does, even on its basic savings account, but the amount is not worth worrying about.
  8. My plan would be; Get a non-O e-visa before you leave. You only need to show the equivalent of 400k in your home country account, together with a copy of your marriage certificate, etc. Sort out a Wise account that you can eventually send money to your Thai account from. Enter and get a 90 day entry. In the 1st 30 days re-activate your bank account, or open a new one, and deposit the required 400k. You will need a TM30 when you extend. 90 days is irrelevant.
  9. Google will have you believe it's 45, hopefully a real person can confirm.
  10. Normally it's 30 or 45 days only, depending on which office.
  11. Now they are an e-visa location there is no real difference applying there or anywhere else, but you're right about the food.
  12. If you have already applied for an e-visa from Cambodia you are supposed to be in that country when you apply, and they most likely will ask for proof of that. And you don't grab the visa, it is emailed to you.
  13. You don't "renew" your non-O, you extend your permission to stay. But to do so you must meet the financial requirement. The OP doesn't, hence the issue he has.
  14. Last time I did 90 day report I only needed TM47. My TM30 had been updated and I guess the IO could see that on her system and didn't ask for a copy (nor did I offer it). And let us hope nobody ever is!
  15. A SWIFT transfer to any recipient bank won't have the restriction as it is an genuine foreign transaction. A Wise transfer ends with a domestic transfer, and the recipient bank dictates the maximum transfer. Wise have several "partner" banks, presumably where they stash their THB, and when the recipient bank is the same the higher limits apply.
  16. Are you still attempting to apply online? I'll repeat the link I posted earlier in case you missed it.... https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/overseas/information/thailand/renew/adult
  17. Did you not read the info sent already. You will not SEND anything, you apply in person. I am sure they will be happy with copies of all your passports, as they will with the UK one you are renewing.
  18. That is a perfectly good option. The "agent" effectively becomes the "person" submitting the application. But the OP seems to have been following the online application which does not apply here.
  19. In Thailand? You don't apply online. You apply in person at VFS. Everything you need to know is here; https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/overseas/information/thailand/renew/adult
  20. My app is working and seems there are appointments for renewal at DLT2. As for walk-ins I did for a new licence at DLT1 (Bang Khun Thian) in September - relatively quiet there with minimal foreigners.
  21. "wifi" "TRUE data" Might be good if you actually described what the problem is.
